Great Lakes: New documents available from IRIN as of 5 Dec 96 96.12.5
Dear IRIN subscriber -
During the current crisis in eastern Zaire, IRIN has been receiving and distributing a prodigious volume of information. IRIN has distributed about 40,000 copies of its daily updates alone. Due to the volume, most of the important documents we have received during the period have been summarized or referred to in the updates or weekly round ups.
However, we have archived documents and reports and they are available on request (by phone, fax or e-mail). Our automated document server, an experimental "self-service" archive is searchable through e-mail. A brief example is included at the end of this message. Many of these documents are available on DHA's Relief.Web: http://www.reliefweb.net.

You should receive automatically a list of documents
that match this description, and the documents themselves
in separate messages. Full instructions are available
by sending a message to archive@dha.unon.org with
a one word message: HELP.
Possible problems:
You may get more documents than you intended to retrieve, if the description contains many frequently used words -- you may not get the document at all - if this happens, try simplifying the description -- very long documents will get trucated - and you will need to request them from us directly -- descriptions with the # or / character in them will give unpredictable results; "no results", "a word is too common" are other error messages you may encounter. Just drop us a line if you are having trouble, and we will send the documents by hand.
IRIN will be happy to receive feedback on this service, which is still in the pilot phase - and needs much refinement - but we hope it will eventually contribute to IRIN's range of services tailored to subscribers' needs.
